National Consultation on the UNESCO 2005 Convention in Fiji

A Consultation on the 2005 Convention is being organized by the Ministry for Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts of the Fiji Government in Suva.

Under the topic of “Cultural Diversity: Impetus for a Dynamic and Sustainable Economy”, the consultation aims to enhance understanding of the 2005 Convention and its international cooperation mechanisms, and assess Fiji’s policy and programmes for the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions. By doing so, the consultation intends to identify a way forward for Fiji’s ratification of the 2005 Convention.

UNESCO accredited expert and representative of the International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity (IFCCD) in Montreal will also provide their perspectives at the consultation as resource persons.
